metadata.xml is wrong. A maintainer is always an individual. Please have a look

well, fine. That is only peripherical related to the bug issue itself.
So what do you suggest?
What we wanted to archive was: Be some kind of sub-herd of media-tv.
But I am not motivated now to change all metadata.xml files.

Making a new bug for the metadata issue

Hi Ed

there is in the moment no solution to fix this,
console-0.6.0 is based on pixelfonts, used in <=vdr-1.5.8

maybe we can add a dirty fix, but you will miss then all pixelfont based
charter symbols, defined in source.

I contakt the Maintainer of this plugin,

waiting for upstream...

Ed,

Iam added a patch, it compiles now, but 
how i suggest before, you will miss all charakter symbols
Looks like, the plugin is no maintained anymore ...

Please, give a short feedback
